About Lop Buri Time Zone
Lop Buri uses the IANA time zone Asia/Bangkok, the standard time zone for most of Thailand. Its standard offset is UTC+7, also known as Indochina Time (ICT), and this offset remains the same throughout the year because Thailand does not use seasonal daylight saving time.
Because Lop Buri stays on UTC+7 year-round, there are no clock changes in March, April, October, or November as there are in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, or Australia. That makes scheduling more predictable for factories, tourism businesses, and regional operations based in central Thailand, but the time difference with cities like New York and London changes seasonally because those locations do observe daylight saving time.
Lop Buri is in central Thailand, north of Bangkok, and shares the same time as major Thai cities including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, and Phuket. It is 1 hour behind Tokyo (UTC+9), 3 hours ahead of Dubai (UTC+4), and usually 7 hours ahead of London during British Summer Time but 6 hours ahead during Greenwich Mean Time, so the exact gap depends on the season in the comparison city rather than any change in Thailand itself.
